What the CAMSIZER XL is
The CAMSIZER XL is a dynamic image analyzer from Microtrac for coarse, dry particles from 160 µm to 135 mm. The sample is fed through a measuring zone lit by a stroboscopic light source, and a high-speed, high-resolution camera records more than 100 images per second. Every particle in those images is measured without contact, and one analysis reports more than 40 parameters: size, shape, surface roughness, density, transparency and 3D. Because a run can take more than 2 kg of material, coarse bulk samples are measured in quantities large enough to mean something, in about one to five minutes.

What it tells you about coarse bulk material
For granules, aggregates and chips, a size cut alone rarely explains why one lot behaves differently from the next. One CAMSIZER XL analysis reports all of this together:
| Size | 15 size definitions over the full 160 µm – 135 mm range |
| Shape and form | 13 shape and form parameters for each particle |
| Surface roughness | 3 roughness parameters, reported with size and shape |
| Density and transparency | from the same measurement, no second test |
| 3D | the patented 3D measurement, following ISO 13322-2 |
Microtrac names these typical fields: aggregates, building materials and cement, fertilizers, food, geology and mining, glass beads and wood chips.
Built for coarse material in a working lab
Where the XL stops — and what to take instead
The CAMSIZER XL starts at 160 µm. Fine powders — metal AM feedstock among them — belong on the CAMSIZER X2+, which measures from 0.9 µm to 8 mm with air, gravity or wet dispersion. For dry, free-flowing material from 20 µm to 30 mm where you need length, width and thickness of each particle from up to 30 images, there is the CAMSIZER 3D. And if the measurement has to sit in the production line rather than in the lab, look at the CAMSIZER ONLINE XL.
